Designs that incorporate backplanes and interconnects operating at greater than 1 Gbps require accurate Spice and IBIS (I/O-buffer-information) models. At such speeds, these interconnects appear to be ...

Ever-increasing volumes of traffic strain the capacities of computing and communications gear. Boosting port speeds from 100Mbps Ethernet to 1Gbps Ethernet – and now to 10Gbps Ethernet – on servers, ...

Typically, the system designer breaks an application down into functional elements, and identifies functional blocks such as SBC, Switch and I/O boards. These boards or modules will then be uniquely ...

Paradigm shifts in technology initiatives don’t come without their skeptics, as is the case with the DoD’s Hardware/Software Convergence Initiative. Aimed at developing a common, modular hardware ...

Colorado Springs, Colo. – Analogix Semiconductor Inc., a startup with operations split between Silicon Valley and Beijing, is promoting DSP-based receiver techniques in a next-generation backplane ...

We want to run two disks in RAID 1, one on each side of the backplane, with each side connected to its own channel on the controller. At least theoretically this should give us higher throughput ...

Finding an exact test system for your SOSA-aligned system requirement doesn’t have to break the bank. There are creative ways to keep your development costs and lead times lower. The Open Group’s ...
